4 more than twice a number is 657

The number (x) in: "4 more than twice a number is 657" is what we are solving here.

In other words, you are looking for a number (x) that if you multiply it by two (same as twice) and then add 4, you get 657.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 4 = 657

Then you solve the equation by subtracting 4 from both sides, and then divide both sides by 2. Here is the math to illustrate better:

2x + 4 = 657

2x + 4 - 4 = 657 - 4
2x = 653

2x/2 = 653/2
x = 326.5

Answer = 326.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 326.5 is 653, and 4 more than 653 is in fact 657.
